I am trying to mesh a truncated cone with high "area ratio" (meaning the top radius is much smaller than the base radius). When I mesh it like a Partial Sphere (http://www.csimsoft.com/partialsphere.jsp), the very high width of the cells in the outer region at the cone base are nonsatisfying:

Actually, I think the approach with a tetprimitive-meshed quarter of non-truncated cone is really the solution.I am going to try cutting a cylinder with the size of the top and additionally four blocks along the axes. In this case there will be just four of the mentioned quarters left. I will add the journal if I succeed. Thanks again.
